Hi, from what you wrote in your introduction, I see that you not only don't share any music or songs you've created yourself, but you've surrendered to the convenience of having AI do it... By this I mean that you're defeated by yourself.
AI is an all-you-can-eat buffet made up of all the original creations of authors who have overcome their frustration with a blank page that takes a long time to come alive... That's what AI is, in terms of creation, of art.

I'm not criticizing, I'm simply expressing my thoughts... AI works sound like "something familiar," they have that familiar ring, why? Because they've created something based on previous human creations.

I don't use AI; I really enjoy fighting, battling my frustrations and inner demons, I really enjoy the adventure of creating and giving life.

I hope you don't mind my comment. I support AI when it's applied in the technological, pharmacological, surgical, formulas, medications, new non-polluting materials, calculations... All of that is great, even if it eliminates jobs, the result is more beneficial than negative, but... goodbye writers, lyricists, arrangers, sound engineers, musicians, singers, goodbye guys, AI is here, hand in hand with those who want everything now, fast, fast food, that's what AI is to me.

For a mellow listening experience, Caroline Adomeit's violin performances are a pleasure to hear.

Hi all, I'm Pete — a piano and guitar player who writes his own songs. Like a lot of us, I've got a folder full of half-finished ones: plenty of sparks, not enough finished.

I got frustrated enough with the blank page that I ended up building a small tool for myself, and since there's a board for exactly this, I'll be honest about it. It's helped me more than I expected — I've finished songs I'd otherwise have left half-written, and every friend I've shown it to has walked away with something. A couple who "don't really write songs" ended up with a verse and chorus they were genuinely proud of.

What it does: you tell it what the song's about — your story, the mood, a genre or an artist's feel, a chord progression if you've got one — and it hands back a starting draft: a verse and chorus with a chord progression you can hear and see on a piano. From there you rewrite it in your own words, add verses, swap chords around. You keep the pen.

My honest take on AI in songwriting: it won't write the song for you — it has no lived experience or memories of its own, so a fully AI-written lyric comes out generic. But for breaking the blank page and getting momentum, it's genuinely helped. A drafting partner, not a songwriter — it doesn't replace the feeling or the editing. If anything, it makes the editing the part that matters most.

Curious how others here handle it — do you use it at all, and where do you draw the line?

Kelly Orr and her band, Nerve9, released a second song in 2020 called Living Lie. They have a cool sound, but they haven't released anything new since 2020. 🤔🧐🤨

Living Lie

Yesterday Spain won the World Cup. For me, it was like Spain had won against Trump after all the things he's said against my country, hahaha. Here, it was like a crazy circus, everyone in their cars, honking their horns, you could hear their laughter and shouts as they drove by, fireworks, laughter, groups of people running and screaming. It seemed like we had won a war, the end of the world, but... well, at least they're happy. I am too, even though I don't like football. It makes me think a lot about all that money chasing after a ball.

Your new song.. it'll be good. The truth shines through, even if it's bitter...
I'm finishing another one. I had shared it before in the lyrics section, but I've completely changed it. Now it's going to be called "You Are My Karma." I've given it a different meaning; it's more understandable for everyone, hahaha.
Have a good day.

But, you, when you sleep, haha.

Adiós!

A group called Nerve9, featuring Kelly Orr on lead vocals, released a couple of tracks in 2020 including Pray For The Rain. Good stuff! I like her vocals and the band's modern-rock sound.

Pray For The Rain

Naw I'm only into music . Working on new one Smart Monkey Survive the stupid dies . Naw you don't have a lot to learn . You got your style down . I don't wear seat belts and get tickets only thing I notice on driving. I don't need cops telling me anything . Well any way keep chasing the fight
Sounds good Mora .

Beatrice Florea covered this early 90s hit in her adorable, talented style. Nice!
